- TITLE = Towards a logic-based reconstruction of software configuration
- management
- NUMBER = 92-10
- AUTHORS = Matthias Jarke, Manfred Jeusfeld, Andreas Miethsam, Michael Gocek
- PAGES = 18
- ABSTRACT = The efficient configuration and re-configuration of software systems
- has been a major problem in software engineering. A large number of
- solutions has been proposed with different features and
- restrictions. In this paper, configuration management is presented
- from a logic perspective. It is shown that much functionality can
- be generated automatically when configurations are considered
- as views on a deductive database and recent results on deductive
- integrity checking, query optimization, and intensional updates
- are applied
- [Remark: two screendumps are omitted in the paper due to space
- limitations]

- TITLE = The Three Dimensions of Requirements Engineering
- NUMBER = 92-24
- AUTHORS = Klaus Pohl
- PAGES = 16
- ABSTRACT = Requirements engineering (RE) is perceived as an area of growing
- importance. Due to the increasing effort spent for research in this
- area many contributions to solve different problems within RE exist.
- The purpose of this paper is to identify the main goals to be reached
- during the requirements engineering process in order to develop a
- framework for RE. This framework consists of the three dimensions:
- o the specification dimension
- o the representation dimension
- o the agreement dimension
- Looking at the RE research using this framework, the different
- approaches can be classified and therefore their interrelationships
- become much clearer. Additionally the framework offers a first step
- towards a common understanding of RE.

- TITLE = Feature-Oriented Classification and Reuse in IPSEN
- NUMBER = 92-35
- AUTHORS = J"urgen B"orstler
- PAGES = 14
- ABSTRACT= A successful approach to aid development with reuse is the usage of
- libraries to store software documents. To support the organization
- of such libraries specialized classification schemes evolved. Most
- of the approaches developed so far are not generally applicable for
- two reasons. They are based on more or less static classification
- schemes and/or only consider functional properties of the stored
- documents. To overcome both deficiencies we propose a new approach,
- called feature#oriented classification.
- To use such libraries successfully it is important to be able to
- understand and to adapt the recovered documents. To support
- development for reuse we propose the usage of a sophisticated design
- language to provide developers with a single language in which they
- can adequately document their design decisions.
- KEYWORDS= Reusability, Classification, Libraries, Design, Programming-in-the-
- Large, Tools, Software Development Environments, Integration,

- TITLE = Theories Underlying Requirements Engineering: An Overview of NATURE
- at Genesis
- NUMBER = 92-36
- AUTHORS = Matthias Jarke, Janis Bubenko, Colette Rolland, Alistair Sutcliffe,
- Yannis Vassiliou
- PAGES = 16
- ABSTRACT = NATURE is a collaborative basic research project on theories
- underlying requirements engineering funded by the ESPRIT III program
- of the European Communities. Its goals are to develop
- -a theory of knowledge representation that embraces subject, usage
- and development worlds surrounding the system, including
- 'expressive freedoms'
- -a theory of domain engineering that facilitates the identification,
- acquisition and formalisation of domain knowledge as well as
- similarity-based matching and classifying of software engineering
- knowledge
- -a process engineering theory that promotes context and decision-
- based control of the development process.
- These theories are integrated and evaluated in a prototype
- environment constructed around an extended version of the conceptual
- modeling language Telos.
